As always, the article primarily gives the view as seen from Israel, Tel Aviv; But where is the view from Iran?

[–] nimisnimi@lemmy.ca 16 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

You haven't seen people singing from their balconies during the night time: "death to khamenei!", have you?

That's the view from Iran. Do you accept the reality though... 💁

[–] torrentialgrain@lemm.ee 26 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

You’re downvoted but you’re correct. Iranians hate their government (rightfully so, it’s a repressive religious extremist police state) and will hopefully use the chance of a weakened Khamenei to finally overthrow the mullahs.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 8 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I just hope Israel's policy of not caring about collateral damage doesn't backfire here. They may hate their leaders, but seeing family and friends killed will solidify them against Israel.

[–] Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago

One wonders if that's the intention, like with Gaza and Hamas, people are driven to extremism by extreme circumstances and Israel at every step stopped anything but hamas from power to help themselves.

[–] rumimevlevi@lemmings.world -3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Israel killing civilians will not make iranians turn against the regime Even gaza with a lot more desperate people the protests against hamas are very low

[–] belastend@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The people already hate this regime.

[–] rumimevlevi@lemmings.world 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

No matter how much they hate the oppressive regime , a state that is known for genocide and killing civilians and be proud about it bombing them will not make them change the regime.

[–] belastend@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That's the first coherent take you had so far.

[–] rumimevlevi@lemmings.world -1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I don't give a damn what a random user like you think of my responses

[–] belastend@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You're responding an awful lot for someone who doesn't care :)

[–] rumimevlevi@lemmings.world -1 points 2 weeks ago

Learn to read. I said i don't care what you think about the quality of my comment. I didn't say i don't give a damn about what you are saying

[–] chillhelm@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yes. Iranians hate their government and want regime change, it's dubious wether this will help. Most likely it will be used by the regime for more crackdowns and cheap propaganda.

It is dubious wether bombing from afar can even achieve the stated goal (stopping the nuclear program). Hoping it will somehow magically bring about regime change is a stretch.

[–] belastend@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The bombing campaign will do absolutely nothing to topple the regime. Israel has now hit orphanages and residential areas.

Israel has now hit orphanages

In Iran? I haven't seen any other claims of this, but if true that is like actual stereotypical comicbook supervillain behavior.

I didn't see any interceptions. Just flak going off hitting nothing but air.

[–] AeonFelis@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

You can't get a good view of the bombing of Tel Aviv all the way from Iran.

[–] dutchkimble@lemy.lol 2 points 2 weeks ago

Probably Tehran

[–] Jimmycakes@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

There's videos from both sides all over the internet what are you talking about

[–] gandalf_der_12te@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

it seems to me as if we're mostly seeing videos about Israel getting hit in the news.

That matters because it distorts public perception: It makes it seem as if mean Iran is bombing Israel, while in fact it is also true that Israel is bombing Iran. It's about proportional reporting of facts.

[–] Jimmycakes@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The first video I saw on reddit was of Iranian fire fighters at that apartment building helping out

[–] gandalf_der_12te@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

ok i guess then it's just my personal experience that Israeli struggles get highlighted more.

[–] Jimmycakes@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

I mean Israeli people probably have more connections in the west so their videos spread faster on social media but there are definitely also Iranian videos. The media is always gonna cover Isreal because their billionaire owners decide what gets printed. On social it's a lot different
